Short description
Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria
Spine dorsali (totale) : 4; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 8 - 10; Spine anali: 0; Raggi anali molli: 7 - 9. Identified by starry pattern on body and males by dorsal fin (Ref. 48636).
Body shape (shape guide): fusiform / normal.
Inhabits sandy areas of lagoon and seaward reefs (Ref. 1602); in sheltered rocky reef habitats in few meters depth, usually in small loose groups (Ref. 48636). Occurs in rubble and algal turfs (Ref. 90102) and tidepools (Ref. 111072). Feeds on small benthic invertebrates (Ref. 89972).
